Annotation
Thrash Metal band, formed in 2005 in Bogotá, Colombia. The song "Vietcong" - a reference to the "VC" - the National Liberation Front of South Vietnam (Vietnamese: Mặt trận Dân tộc Giải phóng Miền Nam Việt Nam) (NLFSV or NLF), the political and military resistance to the US and South Vietnamese government from within South Vietnam - the narrator seemed to use the Vietcong as a reference point to compare with a contemporary situation, possible imprisonment: "behind a prison wall... crying for a revolution". The album was recorded through 2015 at S.O.S Studios, Bogotá, Colombia and mixed in 2016.

Lyrics
English: Don't change my nation, I will decide my way / Taking my own choices, is my own way to resist / I won’t fall for a pressure, behind a prison wall / There’s not enough frustration, believe me I’m not alone / There's only you conviction, beyond the walls / Crying for a revolution, this is my home / There's only your conviction, release you voice / Crying for a revolution, the only choice / I know what ́s this feeling and I know what it means / This pain is under my skin / I know what it takes and I know what it feels / This pain is under my skin / There's only you conviction, beyond the walls / Crying for a revolution, this is my home / There's only your conviction, release you voice / Crying for a revolution, the only choice / Breaking all the limits, I'll defend my seed / Taking my own choices, is my own way to resist / There's only you conviction, beyond the walls / Crying for a revolution, this is my home....
